Join Mark and Seth as they bring their signature blend of knowledge and humor to the recently released animated adaption The Power Of The Daleks.

Actress and New York Times bestselling author Carrie Fisher passed away Tuesday morning from complications of cardiac arrest. Fisher suffered a heart attack while on a flight from London to Los Angeles on Friday afternoon. She was 60 years old.
Born to parents Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher took to acting at a very young age, appearing in her first feature film Shampoo in 1975. But it was her iconic role as Princess Leia Organa in the original Star Wars trilogy that launched her into superstardom. She also had memorable roles in The Blues Brothers, When Harry Met Sally, and Hannah And Her Sisters.
In addition to acting, Fisher was an accomplished writer with four novels, two screenplays, and three non-fiction books on her resume. Her novel Postcards From The Edge was also adapted into a feature film, and she doctored scripts for several other movies including Sister Act, Hook (in which she also had an on-screen cameo), and The Wedding Singer.
Fans and celebrities alike took to social media quickly to pay tribute to the late actress.

I'm deeply saddened to learn of the death of Carrie Fisher. I will miss our banterings. A wonderful talent & light has been extinguished.

I thought I had got what I wanted under the tree. I didn't. In spite of so many thoughts and prayers from so many. I am very, very sad.

The Toys Asia have built a life-size powered Iron Man statue with 567 moving parts and 46 motors. The suit opens up much like Tony Stark’s prize armor for the Marvel films. A full transformation takes approximately 28 seconds.
Too good to be true? Well, in short, yes. The downside is you won’t be able to actually wear the suit, but boy it looks cool!
Oh, and buying one of these bad boys will only set you back approximately $360,000… Get in line now.
